Fallout: New Vegas Hints

Find atomic fuel for the rockets.

  • 1 of 7: Use the ladder in the side part of the large tunnel to get back outside, then travel to the Clark Field area (location 19 on the Zone 4 Map).
  • 2 of 7: Watch out for golden geckos as you follow the quest arrow to find the dead scavenger who has the igniting agent on him.
  • 3 of 7: NOTE: There's also some igniting agent next to a dead pack brahmin on the street a ways to the south, but it'll probably glitch to where you can't get it. Fortunately, you won't need it.
  • 4 of 7: As an alternative, find five rocket souvenirs. You can get them in several places, the most convenient of which is the dinosaur gift shop back in Novac.
  • 5 of 7: Ask Cliff Briscoe what he sells there, then have him tell you about the souvenir rockets. You'll learn that the remaining ones are in the gift shop's locked storeroom.
  • 6 of 7: To open the storeroom, you can sneakily pick its lock (Lockpick 25+), pickpocket the key from Briscoe, or buy the key from his store inventory. If you can pass a Barter 30 check, you can get a permanent discount on all his wares, including the key.
  • 7 of 7: Open the storeroom and pick up five or more of the rocket souvenirs to get the igniting agent you need.
